NYSE Euronext Receives Final Payment In LCH.Clearnet Share Repurchase

NYSE Euronext (NYSE Euronext: NYX) today announced that, as previously agreed by the parties, LCH.Clearnet Group Limited (LCH.Clearnet) has repurchased approximately 6.2 million LCH.Clearnet ordinary shares held by NYSE Euronext at a cost of €10 per share, the market value of the shares when issued in December 2003 in connection with the creation of LCH.Clearnet.

Total proceeds to NYSE Euronext from the repurchase equal €61.8 million ($95.7 million).

Following this repurchase, NYSE Euronext retains a 5% stake in LCH.Clearnet’s outstanding share capital and the right to appoint one director to LCH.Clearnet's Board of Directors. -- www.nyse.com
